For John had been saying to Herod—It is not allowed thee, to have, the wife of thy brother.
And, any man, who taketh his brother’s wife, impurity, it is,—the shame of his brother, hath he uncovered—childless, shall they remain.
The shame of thy brother’s wife, shalt thou not uncover,—the shame of thy brother, it is.
And Micaiah said,—By the life of Yahweh, what Yahweh saith unto me, that, will I, speak.
And, spitting upon him, they took the reed, and began striking upon his head.
